...Thomas Cole's The Oxbow...
...When Cole left on a trip to Italy, his friend William Cullen Bryant, nature poet and editor, urged him in a sonnet not to be seduced by the humanized, picturesque Europe--to "keep that earlier, wilder image bright." After Cole's early death, that image was to get wilder and brighter still in the work of his only pupil, Frederick Edwin Church (1826-1900). Descended from six generations of Yankee ministers and merchants, patriotic and deeply religious, Church inherited Cole's belief in a style of landscape suffused with "a language strong, moral and imaginative." His paintings--mostly...

A calm, collected Ms. McVeigh told jurors Tuesday that she received a letter from her brother Tim a few weeks before the explosion promising "something big is going to happen in the month of the bull," an apparent astrological reference to April. Never asking what that something was, she followed her brother's instructions and burned the letter. The 23-year-old college student also recalled...
